recovery ward

Post-surgery hospital section

A recovery ward is a hospital unit where patients are monitored after surgery or other medical procedures until they regain consciousness and stabilize.

Patients typically spend a few hours in the recovery ward before being moved to a regular room or discharged: She was groggy when I visited her in the recovery ward.
